Michael LoBuglio Architects

If I could give Mike more than 5 stars I would. We approached Mike with a small but complicted project. We needed to add a small addition for a full bathroom on the main floor of our house. There have been size restrictions due to not only zoning regulations but the foot print of our house. Mike has completed the perfect addition for us, the size conforms to all of our "obstacles" . The attention to the smallest detail is simply amazing. Mike has communicated with us throughout the project and has made multiple changes and tweaks to the design as both needed and suggested. His dimeanor is always positive and professional and upbeat when presented with a challenge. Mikes can do attitude along with his abilities as an architect have made him a pleasure to do business with. Most important, our house looks like it was originally built this way! You can't tell that there is an addition unless you know it.

Mike has been a terrific partner in our major renovation, bringing a fresh perspective to our view. His creativity has expanded what we thought was possible while keeping us on track to get the results we wanted. It has been a pleasure working with Mike as he is friendly, attentive and responsive. We couldn’t have made a better choice.

We recently hired Micheal to design a renovation and addition project in Weston CT. He came highly recommended by our builder. From start to finish, Micheal was a knowledgeable professional. He drew a number of different floor plans for us giving us plenty of options, things we could never have imagined ourselves. He is responsive, creative and very kind. We would recommend him without reservation.

We are converting an existing garage into a two-floor apartment, and building a new garage elsewhere on my property. We had already gotten several estimates from contractors and they were inconsistent, difficult to compare and uncertain to meet our objectives. So we decided to start from scratch and use an architect to create plans that would meet our objectives, and serve as the basis for consistent bids from contractors. We interviewed about five architects. Michael was the best. Not only did he have an impressive portfolio, but there was great chemistry between us. And, although this was not the prime reason we selected him, he was substantially lower in price than the others. He charged by the hour...which I like...gave us an initial estimate of the price range, and finished his work well within that range. The final product was excellent, and we look forward to staring construction soon. We are glad we selected him.

Mike was a knowledgeable, insightful and easy to work with member of the team! Would highly recommend him for your architectural needs.

Michael came highly recommend by a builder in Darien CT. After working with him, it was easy to see why. He is a very talented architect. The constraints of our lot along with our ambitious wish list, required creativity and attention to detail. Michael delivered on every front. He is very easy to work with. During the conceptual design phase he provided multiple floor plan options and was open to incorporating our preferences and ideas. We also had to navigate some complicated zoning issues requiring municipal approvals. Michael's expertise and experience were instrumental in obtaining approvals from the town. Our project was a major renovation that tied part of our existing house to completely new work. It would not have been possible without Michael's thoughtful design. We are thrilled with how our project turned out. We highly recommend working with Michael.

Mike was wonderful to work with! He did a great design for our new build. He was very thoughtful about the design by making sure we had a functional and aesthetic home. He was also super responsive and easy to work with! We would definitely recommend him!

Working with Michael was such a positive experience. He was professional, responsive, and really listened to our ideas while offering thoughtful solutions. The end result exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the process from start to finish. Highly recommend!

We are absolutely thrilled with the transformation of our home thanks to the incredible work of Michael LoBuglio. What was once a disjointed and inefficient first level is now a beautifully flowing, cohesive space that feels open, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed from every angle. Michael’s architectural vision brought a clarity and functionality to the layout that we didn’t think was possible. He reimagined the space in a way that maximizes natural light, improves circulation, and creates a much stronger connection between rooms. Every square foot now serves a purpose, and the entire level feels dramatically more spacious and balanced. Michael’s work speaks for itself, it is elegant, intelligent, and transformative. We’re beyond pleased with the outcome and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to bring fresh life and lasting value to their home.

Working with Mike was a outstanding experience from start to finish. We had an old Cape Cod style home that had some quirks, had been added on to several times, and needed a lot of love. The bones of the house were there, but the size, land, and haphazard updates made over the years did not make for a simple project. Mike's attention to detail, creativity, functional design, and multiple proposals exceeded all of our expectations. Throughout the entire process, Mike was clear and consistent in his communication, highly responsive, and quick to make changes and suggestions based on our wants and needs. The collaboration and professionalism made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. The final design is exactly what we had imagined and more. It kept the character of the original house while giving us the updates we were looking for, adding thoughtful elements that will bring us long term value. I would highly recommend Mike for anyone who is seeking an architect who is talented, reliable, thoughtful, and easy to work with. We are so thrilled with how our house has turned out and look forward to being in our house for a long, long time. Huge thank you to Mike!

Michael designed a fabulous addition for our home. He was always available for questions, comments, revisions, etc. and we greatly appreciated his thoroughness and professionalism. We highly recommend him. Diana and Doug S.

We were very pleased with the designs prepared by Michael LoBuglio Architects for multiple projects to our New Canaan, CT home. The designs resulted in finished builds which seamlessly tied into and complemented our existing original structure. We were especially impressed with Michael's recommendations regarding the design for the ceiling and roof lines.

We had an amazing experience working with Michael! He was passionate, inspirational, flexible and fast - helping us transform our simple ranch into a stunning coastal shingle style colonial home. Michael made the most of the existing footprint, maximized the location and views, and brought creative ideas that elevated the entire project. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for thoughtful design and a great collaborator!

When we embarked on the journey of designing our custom home here in Darien, we were looking for someone who not only possessed a keen eye for design but also a genuine understanding of how a family lives. What we found in Mike was truly exceptional. His sense of style, the way he understood proportion and balance, it all came together to create a home that isn't just beautiful, but also warm, elegant, and genuinely inviting. You walk through the door, and there's a sense of peace, a feeling that everything seamlessly fits. And beyond the aesthetics, the process of working with Mike was remarkably smooth. He listened intently, quickly grasping the many requests and, yes, the tweaks we had. He was easy to collaborate with, responding promptly with modifications, always keeping the project moving forward. His experience building distinctive homes truly shone through, and it meant a great deal to us that we worked directly with him on every aspect. Even the varied elevations and unusual setback requirements of our property, which presented unique challenges, were handled with remarkable skill, resulting in a home that feels perfectly integrated with the land. For anyone looking to build a home that is both thoughtfully designed and a joy to live in, I can wholeheartedly recommend Michael LoBuglio Architects.

I have never worked with an Architect before. Mike is the epitimy of professional. He listened to what I was looking for in a remodel. Once he felt he understood he went to work. Brought more options than I could have ever imagined. Professional, thoughtful, caring and willing to listen. If you are looking for a "Top Notch" professional...Mike is your Man. Linda Nash Newtown, CT

Mike is an absolute pleasure to work with. He worked on redesigning the entire front of my house. We are just in the beginning stages of construction. He is very open to different ideas and changes. I run a construction company myself so I honestly can say Mike is one of a kind. You don't find people like him in this day and age. I feel very blessed to have all his support with my project.

We truly enjoyed working with Mike! He was very professional and easy to work with! We are working on an addition for our colonial and he came up with many ideas to help make our house more functional while also saving costs. He was very responsive and worked quickly. We highly recommend Mike to anyone.

Michael designed a beautiful copper roof for our back porch as well as a front porch entrance. He was able to take our rough ideas and turn them into something specials. Michael is a complete professional and I highly recommend him. Thanks Michael!

Michael helped me with a house in Westport. Not only was he pleasant to work with, he was concerned for the details. When the builder just wanted to put wainscot in the foyer, Michael wanted it done right so he drew up the plans for the wainscot. Not only is Michael talented, he is a really nice person.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Michael Lobuglio to design our future home, and we couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the outset, Michael took the time to understand our vision, needs, and preferences thoroughly. He interpreted our requests with incredible accuracy and insight, creating a design that perfectly fits our needs. The developed plans showcase a remarkable blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, ensuring that every home space will be beautiful and practical. Michael was attentive to every detail, incorporating features to enhance our daily living experience and making thoughtful suggestions to improve our initial ideas. Communication throughout the process was seamless. Michael was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and discuss options, making us feel involved and informed at every step. His professionalism, creativity, and dedication were evident in every interaction. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking an architect who truly listens, understands, and delivers outstanding results.

Michael knows his craft. He was originally recommended to me by a prominent musician friend, who was himself an architect at one time. Michael worked with us to sketch out anything we could dream up really. He has a wide variety of styles and abilities. Eventually, the modern cost of renovation combined with our age made us scale back the project that we had in mind, to something much more practical from our living standpoint, giving us a lot of great new options for entertaining larger groups of people, while downsizing the maintenance, and maintaining the full function of my recording studio, (as i am still active in making music). Michael's plans were detailed, structurally sound, and clear to the workers implementing them. When there was a question, Michael was quick to respond to them and resolve any questions that they had. The project went up flawlessly from a design and an implementation standpoint. The cost was in line with costs today. Michael is also a really nice person who is easy to work with. I highly recommend working with Michael LoBuglio for architectural needs.

Mike was great to work with and we were extremely happy with how the drawings came out for our addition. He went above and beyond working with us and sending various layout options to ensure that we had the best layout possible. We are very excited to see his drawings come to life and would highly recommend him for anyone looking for an architect.

Mike, thank you so much for the transformation of our Oxford, CT. home. When I blindly reached out to you at the last minute from New Hampshire in late January of 2021, during COVID, to see if you could possibly meet Tim at a last minute showing of a 1977 relic of a house to discuss the possibility of transforming it into a home, it was a true blessing. With your advice in hand, we took a leap of faith to start the year long journey to renovate this house into an amazingly comfortable, modernized home that we truly value each day. You immediately had recommendations to share over the phone with me. Since I only had the photos from the listing to dream from, you were my eyes and my measuring tape. You were patient and kind and considered all my concerns and ideas. Mike, your emailed, hand drawn renderings were such a vision to work with each time we spoke. I truly valued your opinion and suggestions as you did mine. We created a gorgeous gourmet kitchen, a beautiful bathroom, and a master bedroom, complete with his and her closets. We also moved stairs to create a living space upstairs and a very functional entry area from the garage that provided ample overflow storage, closet space, and a bathroom. The basement layout truly transformed the space into a winter escape for us. Your professionalism and kind spirit were a joy to work with and we still value your friendship to this day.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to write a glowing review for Michael LoBuglio, an amazing residential architect I have had the pleasure of working with for nearly two decades. This talented architect has been the creative mind behind not one, but two major renovation projects for my home in Westport, CT, and most recently, he designed my dream home in Watch Hill, RI. Michael delivers visions and plans that are 5-star designs at below-market prices. From the very beginning of our professional relationship, it was clear that this architect possessed an extraordinary vision for transforming spaces and an innate ability to capture the essence of my ideas. What truly sets him apart is his ability to seamlessly blend modern aesthetics with traditional design foundations. This unique skill is exemplified in the masterpiece he created in Watch Hill, a gambrel Nantucket-style home with a contemporary twist. The Westport projects were no small feat, requiring meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of the existing structure. In both instances, Michael demonstrated his unparalleled expertise in seamlessly integrating the new with the old, maintaining the character of the house while adding modern functionality. The end results were nothing short of remarkable. The flow of the space, the play of natural light, and the harmony between the interior and the surroundings were impeccable. However, it was the project in Watch Hill that truly showcased his ability to turn dreams into reality. The design he delivered exceeded all expectations. The Nantucket-style exterior exuded timeless charm and elegance, while the interior was a true reflection of our modern lifestyle needs. The open floor plan, the sleek lines, and the use of cutting-edge materials were precisely what we had envisioned. It's a home that not only caters to our daily lives but also serves as a work of art in itself. What truly sets this architect apart is his commitment to the client's vision and his unwavering dedication to excellence. His attention to detail is unparalleled, and he is a master of blending functionality and aesthetics. Throughout the entire process, he was always accessible, communicative, and open to our input. His ability to transform our ideas and feedback into tangible design elements was truly remarkable. If you are seeking a residential architect who can turn your vision into reality and exceed your expectations, I wholeheartedly recommend this architect without reservation.

Working with Mike was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His knowledge and expertise was evident from the moment we began. Throughout the process, Mike displayed a thorough and meticulous approach, leaving no stone unturned. His attention to detail and dedication to perfection ensured that every aspect of the project was carefully considered. I was particularly impressed by his helpful and accommodating nature. He made us feel like family. He was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer creative solutions to any challenges that arose. The end result was nothing short of breathtaking.

Mike and the experience he provides is outstanding. He was so patient with my husband and I as we tried to figure out and understand what it entailed to do a renovation project for the first time. He listened to us and came up with several different options for us to review taking into consideration, our goals, budget and the aesthetics of the final project. His eye for design and attention to every detail - how he could really improve the flow, function and value of our home was impressive and the outcome of the plans was better than we could have imagined. He patiently and thoroughly explained all of it in depth and is always very responsive to text and phone calls to answer any follow up questions we have. He even helped put us into contact with some trustworthy contractors to get quotes which was very helpful. For various reasons we decided to phase our project and he has helped us to think about the most logical way to phase the project and been available to us for assistance throughout the entire journey including offering to discuss the pieces directly with our contractors. We feel so grateful to have found Mike and I could not speak more highly of our experience working together. We plan to use him for all architectural projects we want to do in the future without question.

My husband and I decided we wanted to build an in-law apartment. We hired Mike to be the architect. Mike had so many great ideas for the in-law. We talked about using part of the existing home, Mike came up with a much better solution, one that saved us money and it was more isolated for privacy. It was also builder friendly. It looks like its part of the house. Mike was also conscientious about getting the plans to us and explaining the work that was going to take place. Mike is a trustworthy and dependable with great ideas. We are thrilled with the work that he did.

We've worked with Michael on two projects. He is responsive, professional, timely, and creative. He takes the time to listen to what we need and what we want and he offers suggestions on ways to improve our projects. He is client-focused. On top of that, Michael is easy to work with, friendly, and down to earth. We would not hesitate to engage him on future projects.

I found Mike through a contractor doing a home remodel in Greenwich, CT. Looked at a couple of other homes he had designed and hired him to draw plans for a small cape cottage we had purchased as a weekend country home. His design ideas were flawless and we loved the house so much, we moved to our new home full time. He is an extremely talented architect who can think outside of the box and interprets your thoughts and turns them into reality…. Have recommended him to clients as well.

Starting using Michael and his design skills in 1996 and now, 2022, again employing him. He is a talented architect with a warm personal touch. He seems more like a close friend or family member when he is employed to design new construction or renovation. He has numerous contacts in the industry to share with his clients. So, it is easy to give him the 5* rating. Ron and Vicki

I would have reviewed this architect sooner, but I really wanted to take some time to offer my honest feedback: he's an absolute delight and an expert in his field of architecture. I feel so completely lucky that I found Michael LoBuglio on Houzz. If I ever do something with my home in the future, I'm running my ideas by Mike first. All my neighbors are hoping to start some home projects and more than a few have asked for his information. They want to hire him and all my contractors based on the results of our project in Milford, CT. It feels so great to have added some curb appeal to the neighborhood. It feels even better that in the end, hiring an architect saved us money. I consider myself a very independent and creative person. I know I can make something look good. But you need someone like Mike to take your ideas (dreams, maybe) to create a GREAT home that works for your family and lifestyle. Mike comes to you excited to make renderings of what your home will look like in a very short time period from meeting him. In you first meeting at your home, Mike asks you what you like and don't like about your house. You walk around with him and you see that you are not the only one excited to get to work. He is too. He didn't just have one or two ideas for us. He came to us with many options for how the front of our home was going to look within a short time period of meeting him. After you pick the direction of your home (farmhouse, coastal, colonial, etc.) and from his sketch drawings (I'm framing my original), Mike gets to work making beautiful and considerate plans. He asks the little questions along the way to make sure the drawings are near perfect. Example: "Do you want the closet door nearest this wall? Where do you envision the walkway and flow". Just as easily, he'll stop you from making a mistake. "Ooo! Okay, I see why you would like sliders to go there, but then you have an obstructed view due to xyz..." He also knows a lot of contractors in the industry. I have shopped my own contractors with just using reviews. I took a chance, and based on the honest and hard working guy I believe Mike to be, I went with a contractor he referred to us. Another best choice ever. We are in a weird situation where we are doing a few renovations for family (one in Texas, another in NYC). This is by far, the most fun I've had renovating. And there is an honesty where we can talk about what will work, what didn't work, how we can get around hurdles, maybe one or two change orders, etc. I never once had to talk badly about anyone on our project behind closed doors. I have been very VERY happy. If you are thinking, "Gosh, I love the idea of an architect, but I'm just not sure if I need one. I could work with just a contractor and get away with a few little problems." Hear me: investing in an architect like Mike will save you time and money in the long run. Best of luck and hire Mike LoBuglio.

My family and I have lived in our 1850 antique farmhouse for 23 years and I have dreamt of renovating the kitchen since day one. Our existing kitchen is very long and narrow so we need an addition to accommodate a kitchen island. Since I'm an interior designer, I designed the kitchen layout and interior space. However, I needed help with the exterior so that the addition would keep to the original character of the house. A friend recommended Mike and he quickly proposed four hand-sketched exterior options (a sign of a true designer). All were great options and the design that my family and I chose blends beautifully with our understated, humble farmhouse. Mike totally nailed it! He had great input and recommendations for the kitchen interior as well. In addition to being a talented architect, Mike is responsive, easy to work with, and truly cares about his clients and projects. Our project will start in the spring of 2023, and I know Mike will be there should we have any questions during the construction process. We are greatly appreciative and highly recommend!

Michael LoBuglio is not just a great architect, he is also a very effective problem solver. While our initial plans for a simple addition and light renovation were impacted by the condition of the property, Michael was unfazed and managed to incorporate our wish list working as much as possible with the existing structure and keeping with the style of the original design. We found Michael to be very responsive to our wishes but also guiding us in the right direction when needed. With his vast experience, he presented us with multiple design options and thoughtfully explained the pros and cons of each alternative. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Michael as he is not only a consummate professional but also very personable and easy to work with. We felt that he truly cared about our project and would highly recommend him. AK

Michael gave us the house of our dreams. He was easy to work with and had many creative ideas to maximize our space and view. It was a true collaboration with our builder which made the process so much smoother. Michael is a true professional and I would highly recommend LoBuglio Architects.

When we decided to put an addition onto our home, Mike came highly recommended by our builder. Working with Mike was seamless. He came up with several options for our project that reflected all of our specific needs. Once the project was underway, Mike made himself available to discuss on-site modifications and adjustments. The final product is simply perfect. We can’t recommend Mike enough.

I needed to make a series of home modifications to accommodate my husband (who is handicapped) but also wanted to retain the character of our home. Michael was innovative and proposed amazing design solutions that met all of our needs and then some. In addition to providing us with amazing and visionary designs, Michael was a pleasure to work with. I strongly endorse him for any project you have in mind.

Michael was a pleasure to work with. He carefully listened to the vision I had in my head and quickly drew up a plan for our home. He knew exactly what we needed to make our living space utilized the right way. We cannot wait for the completed project.

Micheal was excellent! Michael added great service and value to our home. We have used previous architects and was very impressed with his timeliness and the thoroughness of his work. He provided multiple options for us to choose from and even went above and beyond providing us with future plans. His thoughtful planning also saved us thousands of dollars in the end. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for an architect. Marnie - Southport, CT

I hired Mike on the strength of the designs I saw here on Houzz and on the mile-long list of stellar reviews he has received. In a nutshell, Mike deserves all of the 5 star reviews and more. During our first conversation, I was struck by his kindness and his ability to listen. His drawings were clear and inventive, while incorporating what we had discussed. Working entirely remotely, he was able to offer a concrete vision for an extensive renovation of my home. He designed a new kitchen, a new master bath, and many changes to the exterior of our home. I have never worked with an architect before and I had my reservations, Mike has forever dispelled them. I will contact him for all future projects that we have.

We hired Michael LoBuglio to create architectural plans for our in-home theater, rec area, wet bar, and powder room within a 900 sq foot unfinished space. There were challenges to raise the ceiling level as well as multiple floor levels; the space required steps up to the powder room and steps down within the theater area. He was wonderful to work with and understood our needs perfectly. He also was instrumental in adding new ideas that were better than what we had envisioned. He made the best use of the space possible and we are extremely pleased with the results. He always arrived on-time with a smile and he finished the work in a timely fashion for a reasonable price. We cannot recommend Michael LoBuglio enough!!

We highly recommend Mike LoBuglio . Mike is an extremely talented architect. He is very creative and detail oriented. Mike was always available to answer all of our questions and was truly a pleasure to work with . He is honest and hard working ! Our first project was a large kitchen addition to our home in Ridgefield. Mike's interior and exterior design were just beautiful. We absolutely love our kitchen! We recently reached out to Mike again to design a new 3 car garage and mudroom addition. Once again, Mike exceeded our expectations . We couldn't be more pleased with his design. Thanks so much Mike!

Mike drew plans for our kitchen/first floor remodel. He provided multiple options and thought about the project from all angles. Ultimately, he provided a plan that we hadn’t thought of and truly accomplishes exactly what we wanted.

Mike has been awesome on so many levels. He brought experience, skills, creativity and attention to our wants and needs. When you have a question Mike is always available to talk. Our new home is one of a kind with so much character and detail. I highly recommend Mike. He is a real professional that takes tremendous pride in his work and it shows in the results.

I had an image of the sizable addition to my home and Michael was able to translate it into actual plans with details I had not considered. He worked with various Town committees to rush the plans through the approval process, and the contractor and his crew have been able to follow his plans exactly. I have had experience with other architects who designed homes with outlandish design elements and impractical use of space. Michael took the time to understand what I wanted and worked with me to design it according to my ideas and even beyond expectations. He took the time to educate me on a better method and traffic pattern for the space I had. He kept the design geometrically balanced and in the same fashion as the rest of the house. He is a true professional and also a really nice human being. I highly recommend Michael LoBuglio.

My wife and I purchased a home in New Canaan, Ct in February. It was our first large scale renovation; we blew out walls, redid the kitchen, foyer and 3 bathrooms. This was our first time doing something like this and we were so grateful to have worked with Mike. The end result was far beyond our highest expectation and the process of working with him was also top notch. The attributes that stand out about Mike are thoughtful, responsive, caring and diligent. He really took the time to understand our families needs and conceptualized several options, allowing us to thoughtfully chose what layout would be best. He also took it upon himself to ensure that the detailed vision was correct as the build was happening. Mike is fabulous at his job and is genuinely a good person to have in your corner during an undertaking like this.

We were looking for an architect who could help us with a large addition project to our Idyllic 1933 New England farmhouse. It was essential that we find someone who could work with us to create the right personal living space and also seamlessly integrate the addition into the existing home. Another challenge was the importance of the addition blending in with the lavish garden setting with expansive landscaping. Finally, we needed someone who would bring not only expertise and a point of view, but would be willing to work collaboratively with us as we brought ideas to the project. Fortunately we found all of that in Mike! We couldn’t be happier with our wonderful addition. What’s also exciting is that visitors regularly comment not only on the beauty of the space but on how it looks as though it’s always been here. We highly recommend Mike!

Found Mike on Houzz and interviewed him along with 2 other architects. Mike’s prior work speaks for itself but deal closer for me was his honesty on cost and patients with many changes. My wife and I had little vision for the project before sitting down with Mike and finished the process with a plan we both love.

We worked with Mike Lobuglio when we renovated (rebuilt!) our home in New Canaan. Not only is he a great guy and listener he makes the whole process easy- up on the latest trends in design; great on time and space constraints; practical, logistical, and reasonable. We have loved the home he created for us in the very heart of New Canaan. And as our home evolves we call Mike for suggestions and advice. Highly recommend him and his firm! Gary and Betsi Krivo New Canaan, CT

We used Michael LoBuglio Architects for our outdoor covered patio plans and they were outstanding. We were particularly impressed with Michael’s professionalism and responsiveness in turning around a short fuse request for us. He offered so many creative ideas and minimized unwanted changes to our existing house while making the outdoor patio aesthetically pleasing. The biggest compliment is that we would work with Michael again in the future and highly recommend him!

Michael took our existing unfinished attic and transformed it into an incredible 3rd floor playroom including a bathroom. He also designed our custom family room stone fireplace and built-ins and reconfigured our Mudroom to accommodate custom made built-in cupboards and cubbies, which he designed as well. He meet with us on-site in our New Canaan home several times and took the time to listen to our ideas and needs. Michael is a pleasure to work with and we are so very pleased with the outcome!

Mike designed a kitchen and master bathroom renovation for our house in Greenwich. He was prompt, responsive (at all hours), and offered numerous helpful suggestions. He was also wonderfully patient as my wife and I went through a number of iterations to arrive at our ideal design.

Michael went above and beyond for our project - an addition on our house. We fully recommend him as very talented, down to earth professional. Michael was always very responsive, reliable, attentive and insightful throughout our planning process. His ideas were spot on for our needs and we will definitely use him again in the future!

Michael designed a new master bedroom that included his and her closets and an en suite in our 1972 split level home from a small master and adjacent sunroom. He was very easy to work with and we are very pleased with the results. He was also instrumental in helping us find the perfect builder. We highly recommend Michael.

Michael designed our pool house and did a fabulous job! It was an addition to a twelve year old house and he made it look as if it was designed when the house was originally built.

We had a great experience working with Mike and highly recommend him. We decided to buy a home in Greenwich that needed a re-working of the first floor layout to make it more functional for our family. We were impressed with Mike's responsiveness (he would get back to us almost immediately at any time of day and on weekends), quick turnaround time, and his willingness to work around our schedule and meet with us in person on weekends. We were absolutely convinced before meeting with Mike that some structural walls would have to come down in the first floor to fit our vision. Mike was able to convince us that in fact those walls did not need to come down and that we could work around them with a functional design. His plans ended up saving us a lot of money on structural beams. We felt like he really listened to what we wanted and delivered a design that was functional and cost effective. On top of that, his pricing was super reasonable and the value he brought was significantly more than his fee. Overall Mike is professional, easy to work with, responsive/accommodating, and he's well worth the cost. We were so glad we decided to work with him.

Michael came highly recommended through a community group and after meeting him for the first time, it was clear we found the architect we needed to make our very old home new again. Michael provided us with many iterations for our renovation/addition and made us see our home in ways we couldn't have dreamt up ourselves. He listened carefully to all of our wishes and requests and made sure everything we hoped for (and then some!) was seamlessly worked into our plans. Michael was so responsive, easy to work with, and his vision is beautiful. We would recommend him to anyone looking for an architect.

Mike transformed a nondescript Garrison colonial to a spectacular New England colonial. After all these years his design still resonates.

My wife and I bought a spec house that Michael had designed, and hired him shortly after the purchase to design a covered porch for it. Yes, Michael exceeded our expectations in terms of his design, his attention to detail, his excellent turnaround time and his budget consciousness, but here's the thing that I keep coming back to, about him: he may be the most copied architect I've ever met. As we've walked around different neighborhoods in our town, we see no end of new homes that have taken certain elements of design that he's known for...but they never really get the whole "look" of his work. I'm not an architect, and I don't have the correct language for it, but here's how I put it: Michael understands form AND function. For all the houses we looked at that were lovely on the outside but not well-planned in terms of layout...and all the houses we saw that were comfortable inside but seemed awkward from the road, Michael's homes manage both beauty and practicality. They're elegant without sacrificing warmth. (I've already informed my wife that the only way she's getting me out of this one is in a pine box.)

We contacted Michael a few weeks after we experienced a fire at our house in Trumbull. Michael was very prompt in his response and after meeting onsite provided an fee which I felt was very reasonable. He worked very quickly in providing us sketches and different options for the redesign of our house and really listened to our wants and needs as a family and thoroughly took them into consideration during his design. As a construction professional myself I was very happy with the experience and knowledge of Michael and am happy to recommend him for your project.

After purchasing a set of plans from a company I contacted Mike who's name I received from a recommendation. After seeing a couple of his projects I decided to sit down and interview Mike for the possibility of reviewing the plans I had purchased and working with them. After the meeting I decided that I would hire Mike and have him draw up a custom home for me. His attention to detail is impeccable. It was a pleasure dealing with him. I have lived in my home for 18 years and never plan on leaving. Wouldn't change a thing as far as the plans and design. Thanks again Mike

Michael did a fantastic job designing a renovation and addition for our house. He has great vision as well as attention to detail, and he took all of our ideas/feedback into account. He does beautiful work and is both responsive and easy to work with. We would recommend him to anyone.

When we started planning the full renovation of our 1930s vintage home we began with the task of finding a reputable architect. After interviewing a number of architects, some recommended we decided on Mike LoBuglio that we found on the Houzz website. It was his sense of design, ability to determine what could or could not be accomplished structurally and ability to understand exactly what we were looking to achieve and not what he just wanted to give us. Working with Mike was a pleasure. The design plans he gave us made it easier to understand how the renovation would look. Mike was always quick to incorporate our design changes and give appreciated opinions. Through the Renovation, Mike always followed up with us on the progress and also interfaces with the contractor. Another point was that Mike was instrumental in helping us find a great contractor for the work. This has been a great experience for us with little to no frustration and we highly recommend Mike LoBuglio.

When we decided we wanted to do a large scale renovation to our new home in Rowayton, we didn't know where to begin. We interviewed countless contractors, design build groups, interior designers, and architects and felt overwhelmed with no clear directions. After meeting with Michael and speaking with him a few times we felt consistently comfortable and confident in his ideas and process. Ultimately, we decided to start with Michael alone to put together our architectural and construction plans. Michael helped us design our complete interior renovation and partial reconstruction of our home. He was an incredible asset for us and was very patient and thoughtful in his approach over an extended period of time (due to our timeframe!). Michael put us at ease each step of the way and made the process feel so much more manageable. He had great ideas and went through variations with us in person to be sure my wife and I were excited about our options and final design. Michael also worked quickly, efficiently and was very responsive to all emails, texts, and phone calls. When the time came, we were able to hire a design build group (who was also excited about Michael's plans!) to bring his vision to life. Michael worked closely with our design builder even meeting with him in person at our home to discuss the plans. We very highly recommend Michael and are happy to be a referral!

Excellent design professional. I have known and worked with Mike for years My relationship with Mike is estimating & project management

Michael designed and rendered the front fascia of my restaurant, the detail of stucco, windows, and doors. Besides being professional, responsive, and talented, he is a pleasure to work with.

Michael did a great job preparing architectural drawings for my new house. He is a skilled and speedy artist. His ability to quickly sketch - and resketch - the whole building in its setting let me see what I had envisioned would actually look like. He also works incredibly hard. We had a deadline we wanted to meet and he went above and beyond the call of duty to get us finished drawings to file with the town.

Mike LoBuglio was wonderful to work with and we highly recommend him! He was able to work with the space of the original house and redesign it to a much more livable and modern design. We worked with Mike to gut and remodel our 1960's colonial in Westport which included an addition, a complete gut of the downstairs, expanding the kitchen, moving a bathroom, and redesigning the master bathroom. Mike took the ideas we gave him in the beginning and made them into truly special spaces.

As a young couple my wife and I had the great fortune and pleasure of working with Mike LoBuglio on what has turned out to be our dream house for the past 28 years. One of the first things that impressed me about working with Mike was his ability to make this project a collaboration. By asking increasing specific questions Mike made what could have been a complex, arduous task into an incredibly rewarding experience. Examples of this were his recommendation of skylights once he determined the back of the property faced east. We had never thought of this ourselves, but every morning the natural light and warmth of the sun reminds us of why Mike is such a highly regarded professional. Another example is his foresight into designing the kids "playroom" in such a way that it could be quickly and inexpensively turned into a "In-Law" suite when the time came to care for my wife's mother. Throughout the process Mike was readily available for our never ending list of questions. He displayed an amazing amount of patience as we asked him to relocate the downstairs powder room at least six times. (We finally took his recommendation and have been happy ever since). Mike made himself available to us and our contractor throughout the construction process and beyond, no small feat considering the distance between his office and the job site in West Virginia. After 28 years we can honestly say there isn't a thing we would change regarding the design of the house. Many people have told us what a difficult and depressing process building a house can be. Our experience is quite the opposite thanks in very large measure to working with Mike and getting everything "right" the first time.

Michael did a top to bottom total renovation of our house. He did a phenomenal job of taking the time to understand our needs from the initial consultation to budget concerns and articulated them perfectly in the final design. When you see the before picture compared to the finished renovation you cannot believe it is the same house. Thank you Michael for taking our 1954 home from "charmless" to amazing.

When purchasing a new home, I needed to turn a bonus room into a bedroom. Michael presented me with many options in a timely manner. He was always responsive to my requests and respectful in his treatment of my house and ideas. In the end, i’m beyond pleased with his design which turned out bright, airy, and maximized the functionality of the space. Michael even walked me through the permit process, working with my contractor - and his rates were beyond fair. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Michael beyond exceeded our expectations. We found Michael through Houzz - after our builder's preferred architect came back with a very high price and initial designs that didn't align to what we had suggested. Michael was very reasonably priced for the work that he did. He wasn't the cheapest, but the quality per price was beyond anyone else. We were very price-sensitive, but Michael would have been my choice at any price. Michael's first design sketches were works of art. He must have shown us 10+ handpainted watercolor and ink sketches. They were beautiful and I want to frame them. My close friend (a Columbia and Princeton trained architect) was blown away by the quality of his sketches. My father, who develops houses in another city, was incredibly impressed. He draws them by hand. Whereas other architect's work often felt like they came out of a computer program, Michael's work felt like a work of art. Finally, Michael has both the ability to listen closely to his clients demands, but also guide them. We were originally planning a master bedroom on one side of the house - but he suggested to us why the other side made more sense. And he was right. We've already recommend Michael to other friends. I can't recommend him enough.

Both my wife and I agree that our experience with Michael LoBuglio was a very positive one. Mike is a very affable and knowledgeable professional. He listened to our wishes and concerns, offering creative suggestions and options with full explanations of what would or wouldn't work for our project. He presented design plans in a timely manner, and we were very satisfied with the final product. We would recommend and refer Mike to anyone looking for architectural services without hesitation or reservation.

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael LouBuglio through my brother-in-law to renovate a 1927 farmhouse. It consisted of adding a second floor and a wraparound porch. Michael’s broad knowledge Of architecture and his ability to put my thoughts and ideas onto paper was tremendous..

Mike Helped me design and build several projects in Wilton CT this year. Inside, we put in a bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room. Outside, we rebuilt the front steps, put on a large deck with built in grill and a new flagstone patio. Looks Great!

We had an excellent experience this year with Mike! We love the renovation of our attic into a guest bedroom and office. He listened to all of our requests and added ideas of his own. The space is now not only highly functional, but beautiful as well. My husband and I plan on using him again when we plan to redo the remainder of our home!

Michael is the consummate professional! He was always available for consultations and changes to the plans. he was so easy to work with and although i thought i had it all figured out, he came up with some amazing ideas that made my house so much better. he never tried to talk you into anything and he always had a big smile on his face. i could reach him at any hour. he never made me feel that his other jobs were more important than mine even though mine was a partial renovation.. his prices were very fair and i highly recommend him. He was OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!

Mike has worked on three different major projects for our family over the years. Mike is extremely thoughtful and creative. Our first project was a major renovation of an older house and he had some brilliant ideas that made it all work. We used Mike two more times after that given our positive experience and he came through for us both times again.

We have used Mike for two separate jobs. The most recent was a beautiful porch renovation. He has great ideas and was able to create exactly what I had envisioned. His work created a more contemporary flair to our antique farmhouse.

From our first meeting, we were impressed with Michael's professionalism and creative ideas. We wanted to our transform our small colonial into our dream home. Michael listened to our needs and presented us with many options that fit our criteria. He managed to make all our 'wish list' items a reality, even with some tight space constraints. His design was very thoughtful and his attention to detail was unparalleled. His construction plans were very thorough leaving no questions from our builder. Michael worked with our builder throughout the construction of our home to ensure all elements were executed as designed. We are thrilled with our new home and would recommend Michael to anyone looking to renovate and transform their home!

Mike LoBuglio had previously designed an addition to our current home and most recently designed our new home to be built. Mike has the most incredible design skills. It absolutely amazes me to see him put my ideas on paper and then come up with a perfect draft better then I had imagined. He is the only Architect I would consider using and the only one I would recommend to friends. In addition to be extremely talented in his profession, Mike is a very nice person. My wife and I greatly enjoy his company.

We contracted Michael to design a new deck for us this fall. After a quick consultation Michael turned around a completed drawing in under a week. It was exactly what we wanted and faster than we expected. We submitted to the building inspector, everything was to code and passed without revisions. He checked in on us during the build to make sure we didn’t need any additional help. If you’re in need of and architect Michael is your guy. We couldn’t be happier with the service he provided.

We hired Michael to design a full home renovation of our center hall colonial in New Canaan, CT (back in 2007). We were interested in specific features that would showcase the house, but not make the addition apparent from the outside. And we wanted a cupola! No design detail was left out in any of our discussions and meetings. Michael's suggestions and drawings were integral to the final product and it was a complete collaboration! We were so happy with the process--Michael even came by several times to meet with the builder during the construction phase....he was that invested in our project! We loved working with him. He is incredibly personable and insightful--he listened to everything we said. We even recommended him to two New Canaan families who also used him and loved his work. We interviewed several architects, but I can't imagine working with anyone else. We highly recommend him, and he still stops by when he's in the area to say hello!

I have been building commercial office buildings,multi-family apartment buildings and multi million dollar speculative homes for thirty years. I have used numerous architects for those projects. However, when I decided to develop my personal waterfront home in Norwalk I called on Michael LoBuglio Architects. Michael’s sense of scale,style and proportions are what drew me to his work. I not only love the exterior of his homes the interior layouts work great too. Michael pays great attention to the room sizes, circulation and space relationships. He actually came up with an exterior space in the front of the home that feels like an outdoor foyer space. He designed large openings and exterior balconies to take advantage of the water views. He not only cares about the front of the home he cares about the entire project,inside and out! Michael went above and beyond studying my home and I couldn’t be happier with his work ethic, fairness and integrity. He was very easy to work with and came up with so many ideas I didn’t even think of. I highly recommend Michael and hope to work with him again.

I hired Mike to design a 5,800sq foot new build construction project. His attention to detail was impressive. He met or exceeded all of the deadlines. His costs were right in line with his estimates. The house looks great inside and out and I would highly recommend him and plan to work with him in the future.

Mike is a wonderful architect who is passionate about the beautiful homes he designs. He is diligent, listens to the needs of his clients, is always available, cares deeply about his work, and his designs are gorgeous. I hired Mike to design a house for me and after being impressed I quickly hired him to design a second house. I'm happy to say I found the right architect.

Working with Mike to design an expansion of my Westport house was a pleasure. He quickly got started and understood what I was looking for in adding a bedroom and bath, as well as enlarging the kitchen and dining area. What he came up with was light and airy and totally in keeping with the way I am my family use the house. We are now finished with the work - and delighted with the results.

Michael helped us design a renovation of a lofted barn residence. It was a challenging project as it not only required staying true to a unique design aesthetic but also that we put our own mark on the space. Mike worked through a number of different ideas and together we came up with designs for our kitchen which blended in very well with the existing rustic look of the house.

After my husband and I found out we were expecting our 2nd child the rush was on to decide whether to add on to our home or just move. We went back and forth and couldn’t bring ourselves just to settle on something. Then we met with Michael. Everything changed! He showed us how we could make our current home our DREAM HOME! Our Forever home! Michael listened to every single one of the items on our wish list, even the sort of ridiculous ones and made them all happen! The way he was able to transfor our little tiny ranch into a home we couldn’t even imagine was amazing! His attention to detail and window placement and making everything look stunning the whole way around the home is something that was very important to us. Micheal went above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier. We are so pleased we decided to work with him!

Michael worked with us to create the home of our dreams. He was referred to us by another extremely satisfied client and right away we connected with him. He was warm, professional and overall an excellent listener. Not only did he design a home that reflected who we are and what we had asked for but he also brought innovative ideas, paid close attention to details and had a level of commitment that went above and beyond the scope of the project. He was easy to approach when we wanted to make changes and the project was completed on time and on budget.

Mike has worked on multiple projects for my husband and I and his work is fantastic! He thinks outside the box, is creative, and is an absolute pleasure to work work with. My husband and I can’t recommend him highly enough!! If you need a reference, or if I can answer additional questions about Mike and his work, please email me at jbakerj@hotmail.com.

We hired Michael several years ago to help us with a remodel of our home. We went from a kitchen redesign to a whole house remodel and we dragged the process out over several years. Michael stayed with us every step of the process. Our design process was not easy given a few constraints of our property and previous home layout. Michael helped us look at a variety of alternatives. He was also meticulous in ensuring the design was executed well visiting the job site and working with our contractor. His attention to detail helped us solve or avoid several issues along the way. Overall we are pleased with the project and especially Michael's commitment to quality customer service.

Michael worked with us on plans for an addition to our home. We have a small New England style house by a lake and wanted the addition to look and fit in with the existing house & lake area. We found Michael to be extremely professional and knowledgeable. He listened to our wants and needs and came up with a top notch plan for us. Without hesitation we recommend Michael LoBuglio Architects.

I am in the finishing stages of putting a foyer, garage, den, extra bedroom and master bedroom suite on my house. I had the great fortune of having Mike LoBuglio be the architect for the project. While this was a relatively small project for Mike he treated me as if it was just as important to him as any of the more extensive projects he has done. This was not a sales technique but a sincere action on Mike's part. From start to finish Mike reviewed all the details with me, gave me several options, went to the town to ensure the plans matched the local code and made himself readily available. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the results of his work and our overall interaction with him. We will never hesitate to recommend Mike. He is sincere, hard working and honest. You can be guaranteed Mike will do an excellent job and to top it all off at a more than reasonable price. My addition wouldn't be the same without Mike.

I highly recommend Mr. Michael LoBuglio for many reasons. The first reason is because he loves what he does. He is happy and enthusiastic about work every time I see him. The second reason is because he is service oriented. He went out of his way to help us redo part of our plans, and kept coming over until it was just right. He made it convenient for us by visiting when we were available. The third reason I recommend Michael LoBuglio is because he is a perfectionist, and re-measures everything exactly. He makes it easy for the contractor to read the plans and follow through. There was very little the contractor questioned on Michael's plans. The fourth reason I recommend him is his creativity. He had a number of clever ideas for our home that I hadn't imagined were possible. The final reason I recommend Michael, is his integrity. He is a man I trust. He is a family man, and he does volunteer work for his community.

We had a great experience working with Michael LoBuglio on a renovation of our New Canaan home. He is creative and responsive to both client requirements and budget restrictions. Michael works cooperatively with contractors, in order to meet deadlines and deliver an excellent work product. Michael is a true professional.

Mike was very easy to work with and had creative ideas about how to create a bonus room above our garage. With his suggestion we added a full bath and closet for potential in-law space. Our home exterior turned out beautiful as well adding beautiful curb appeal adding dormers and an overhang outside our garage doors giving that side of the home dimension.. Mike also designed a beautiful portico for our front door that make our home stand out from the others In our neighborhood. We couldn’t be happier with our added living space thanks to Mike!

We hired Mike to design a new 2-story addition in Wilton, CT which included an open concept kitchen/family room on 1st floor and a spacious master bath with walk-in closets on the 2nd floor. Mike was so easy to work with and stayed involved throughout the project. He has a great eye for detail and designed the addition in keeping with the home’s original architecture. We are so happy with the results.

Michael was recommended to me by a local cabinet supplier when I had inquired about a top-notch kitchen designer and architect. Upon meeting Mike my wife and I were immediately comfortable with his approach, knowledge and insights so we hired him on the spot, not feeling the need to look any further. An added benefit to us is that Mike is a skilled architect beyond the scope of the kitchen/dining area we were remolding, so that his insights in integrating that into the existing house was a huge help. Her was a great listener to our needs, offered excellent advice and steered us in directions we had not even though of but were amazing ideas to transform the space into something better than we envisioned. He is personable and very easy to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends, family or neghbors.

Our family worked with Michael on a major renovation of our home. He worked with us and totally transformed our Westport split level home both inside and out. We had an incredibly positive experience with Michael -- he listened to what we were hoping to create in our home and translated our wishes into a wonderful architectural vision. He has a great sense of balance and flow --- resulting in a welcoming space. After our home was completed, we had countless neighbors and friends tell us how incredible the transformation was --- they noted our front porch, front entryway, and our spacious kitchen in particular. Above all, it was such a pleasure to work with Michael. When you enter into a renovation, you want someone you can trust and who you believe has your best interests at heart-- Michael proved to be a great partner throughout the process!

After having a few negative experiences with other architects, we decided to reach out to Mike for our front porch addition. Mike was courteous, prompt and timely with all communications and deadlines, which was the exact opposite of what we had experienced with other architects. He listened to our wish list/design and put it on paper exactly as we had envisioned; he even checked in with us a few weeks after the design completion to get an update on our addition. We highly recommend Mike and would not hesitate to use him for any future projects.

Michael was recommended to us by our Interior Designer. He was very professional, dependable, responsive and we thoroughly enjoyed working with him. Even though our project involved a small addition, he gave us all of his attention, answered questions from contractors during the bidding process and always with a smile. We highly recommend him for any project you are considering and would use him again in the future.

My wife and I cannot recommend Michael more highly. We were looking for an architect to design a new living space for our growing family from the traditional divided living room, dining room and kitchen space and turn it into one space that we can enjoy hosting family and friends. We met on several occasions where he listened to our vision and needs of our project. He was very knowledgeable about the process and walked us through of what was practical and what wasn't. After a few weeks he came back with several drafted versions for us to select. His drawings and attention to detail were outstanding and really brought our vision to life. Michael mentioned other projects he was working on at the time, but made us feel like we were his only clients. I will be using Michael for any future projects and would highly recommend him to any family and friends as well.

We started our home expansion project by meeting with 3 local architects. Even in the preliminary conversations that we had with all three Michael had more knowledge, vision, and imagination for ways the project could be approached. We are working within fixed parameters due to wetlands, property idiosyncrasies, and budget. While the other architects expressed concern about being able to accomplish our goal, Michael seemed to have no trouble imagining how our wish-list could be turned into a reality. His initial proposal was timely, robust, and competitively priced. It included more information than we expected and made the selection process a no-brainer. From there, Michael made a complex process seem swift, effortless, in fact enjoyable, through consistent guidance on decisions. He is at once friendly, accessible, down to earth, and incredibly professional. Michael’s role went beyond designing the structure. He gave us confidence that the designs were viable by always confirming code compliance with our town and consulting engineers. Having just completed the formal design process we are thrilled to have worked on this project with Michael. He presented us with many possibilities and walked us through the pros and cons of each one. Ultimately, he has bridged his design work by connecting us with a general contractor with whom we are also eager to work with. We hope to have the opportunity to work with him again. Thank you, Michael!

Besides being a super nice guy, Mike is an extremely accomplished and knowledgeable architect. He was overly accommodating with us and worked well with our contractor. He made incredible recommendations that we would not have known about had we not used him. The end result, nothing short of spectacular!

Mike did an outstanding job with quite a difficult project - renovating and changing a complicated old house. His vision, ideas and eye for beautiful architecture made the difference in our original ideas going from good to great. And, we were also happy with his pricing model. The price/value ratio was strong and very competitive vs others that we looked at. I would highly recommend Mike for the quality of his output, how he worked with us and his outstanding delivery. We would work with him again. Maggie

Our project involved the complete demolition of our house and the design and build of a new house. Michael was personally involved and gets as excited with the project as we do. He has great ideas that complement our desires and is great to work with. He is patient, a good listener and brings a welcomed sense of calm and humor to what could otherwise become a stressful endeavor. His final drawing was not just a dream home, but a work of art! We would definitely hire him again, and we would recommend him anytime. We are so happy with his service.

I've been lucky to have the opportunity to work with Michael, as well as with some of his colleagues and clients. I will continue to recommend him and his company because of the vision, expertise and professionalism he brings to every aspect of a project.

My husband and I hired Mike to design a couple of our houses in Stamford and an addition to our Greenwich home. In addition, I have worked with Mike on client projects. Mike listens to your needs and desires and professionally executes in a timely manner. He has a great attention to detail and takes ones budget in mind. He provides you with many options and creative ideas that one might not have thought of. In short, he produces quality work. Over the years I have recommended him to many and have always received thankful and glowing remarks on what he has presented. He is easy to work with and will assist you in every phase of the project.

Mike worked with us on an extensive remodel of our 1970’s Garrison Colonial. We are still thrilled with the results, now 10 years later. What began as a boxy, plain, standard colonial, is now a beautiful Shingled Style home which includes a front porch, open plan family room with a large eat-in kitchen, 3 fireplaces (electric in master bedroom), and even a “dumb waiter” to transport mail etc. up to our office on the second floor. Mike is a good listener and was able to get everything we wanted into the design, as well as things that weren’t even on our radar. His vast experience definitely added value in this area. He did beautiful drawings, and was very detailed oriented. His ability to draw things up on the spot, and tweak designs in real time made the design process and the designs very interactive and clear. He is extremely talented and easy to work with. Mike is professional, timely, and an all-around good guy. We would recommend him for any job, big or small.

Mike was easy to work with. I had specific requirements for the pool house we were building five years after the pool and main house were already constructed so the pool house had to complement and fit into the existing program. Mike was able to integrate the various components and come up with a functional and aesthetically well designed structure. Although the pool house is now almost 10 years old, it looks timeless and is as beautiful now as it was when it was built.

Michael drew plans for two additions to my home and reworked some interior spaces. He really listened to my ideas and needs and then drew several versions. I really liked having the alternative options. He was also very respectful of the style and age of my home which was important to us so that ithe plan would seemlesslessly blend in with the original architecture

Best decision my wife and I made in building our Candlewood lakehouse was in hiring Mike LoBuglio to design our home. Mike is an excellent listener with superb architectural skills. He turned my wife's ideas into a dream house, with the nuances and details that went well beyond what we believed to be within the realm of possibility.

Mike is a pleasure to work with, very responsive and his designs were great. He listened well to what we wanted and delivered in a timely manner on several phases of the project design. The only reason I am not giving five stars is Mike didn't have a strong sense for how the scope of the project related to our desired budget, so we had to refine and revise our scope significantly quite a few times. To help with that, Mike recommended bringing in someone else who was better able to estimate the cost of the project when we needed it. We still went way over our intended budget, but that's certainly not on Mike! We are very happy with the end product.

We used Michael for our house whole house remodel . His attention to detail and design ideas were fantastic. We always get compliments. I would recommend him to anyone.

Michael did an amazing job with our renovation. We have a house that was built in 1909 and he was able to work with us to maintain the character and the house and look like the addition was always there. We added an additional 1500 sq feet of living space which include adding a master bedroom, a family room and a mudroom he also added dormers on to the roof line that improved the balance of the house and a front porch and interesting window that look period appropriate. He was very good about listening to what we wanted and making it work for the house. Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like more informaiton.

I couldn't be happier with the plans Mike created for our renovation. The renovation went smoothly. The finally outcome is beautiful and functions fabulously. Mike was easy to work with, creative and pays attention to details.

I have worked with Mike off and on over the past 20 years. We first worked together on a 12 million dollar renovation back in 1996 which was very successful. We recently worked together on my sisters kitchen and garage which cost 300K and took place 2 years ago. I would recommend Mike to anyone who will be building a new home, addition or renovation. He listens to what you want and will work within you budget.

I highly recommend Mike LoBuglio Architects. Mike did an excellent job with our most recent renovation. He was available 24-7 and often came to the job site within an hour's notice to answer questions or to give direction to the general contractor. I also would engage him to review the work of the GC during the construction phase to ensure that the work was being done according to plan and in a quality manner. He has a calm demeanor and is meticulous in detail. We have received great feedback on Mike's work and personally we are very pleased with the outcome. Strongly recommend him!

Michael LoBuglio was the architect for our in-ground pool project which included a 4 season cabana. Mike was involved in every aspect of the project, not only designing and over-seeing the building of the cabana, but ensuring that the cabana both inside and out blended with the style of our existing home and property. With the additional challenge of a small footprint, Mike came up with an efficient design which allowed us to have both a kitchen and full bath as well as a sizeable main sitting area. Mike worked closely with us to incorporate all our ideas with results that went far beyond our expectations! In his design, he also added the unique features of a cathedral ceiling with sky light in the sitting area, beautiful classic wood molding and wainscoting all in white, cabinetry for flat screen TV and gas fireplace, with full glass doors and plenty of windows creating a light and airy feeling to the space. We would highly recommend Mike to any client who values creativity, attention to detail, and a close working relationship. Thank you, Mike!

Mike helped us with the re-architecture of our very large master bathroom suite. Mike is a true professional. He worked with us to understand our requirements and went through numerous proposals before we as a team found the one that worked for us. Mike then created some beautiful drawings and provided us a number of them to share with builders. We would use Mike again and we would also include him in a round table with our builder(s) for the assessment of the final design. Thank you Mike.

Mike was the architect and designer of our kitchen project 4 years ago. He was extremely professional, organized and was very creative when it came to design. Mike is very easy to work with and listened to all of our questions and concerns. Our kitchen is amazing and importantly, I love how it flows. I highly recommend Mike as an architect and kitchen designer.

We hired Mike to help us design a small addition and screened porch in New Canaan, CT. He presented us with at least 3 different options and was very amenable to taking parts and pieces from each one to get to our final design. His revisions came back very quickly and his drawings were beautiful and extremely detailed. The builder said he rarely receives drawings as well thought out and detailed as the ones Mike put together. We would highly recommend him!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mike. He is a true a professional who takes great pride in his work. He is a good listener and created a plan that met all of our needs and was within our budget. I find him to be fair, honest and knowledgeable. I would most certainly work with Mike again.

As a builder in Naples, Florida, we recommend Michael and his team at Michael LoBuglio Architects to anyone in the Fairfield County CT Area, as well as anyone who owns in Naples, Bonita Beach, or Marco Island, who wants to either design and build a custom home, or wants to remodel a luxury home or condo. Michael understands that you want your own special place, that reflects your style and taste. It is imperative that you trust the team you have chosen to design your dream. Michael LoBuglio Architects is a team you can trust and we highly recommend them.

Michael is a very kind, patient, educated professional. He explained the processes clearly. Made sure all my questions were answered. Michael also has great follow through.

We have had a wonderful experience working with Michael LoBuglio on the renovation of a home we are purchasing in Westport. Michael's initial proposal was reasonable for the size of the renovation we were contemplating but he actually accomplished all the work substantially under budget which was a wonderful surprise for us. Michael has a terrific eye and within our first few meetings pointed out some relatively inexpensive changes we could make in our floor plan to dramatically transform and enlarge certain spaces. By way of example, he discovered otherwise dead space that works beautifully to create an accessible cabana bathroom for our pool and incorporated a hallway into a small bedroom to create a large play area for our kids. We also appreciated how quickly Michael was able to complete the work and his willingness to meet on the weekends when it was most convenient for us to get together for a few hours. We highly recommend him.

We hired Mike Lobuglio as the architect for the house we built (or is in the final stages of construction, rather) in Darien, CT. Our house was a tear-down, and we had a limited area that we could situate our new house on due to wetlands. The size of the house would have been an issue if Mike hadn't been as creative as he was in designing a house that would give us everything we wanted while still being able to adhere to the restrictions placed on how/where we could situate the house. Mike's attention to detail is incredible, and he is meticulous in his design. I discovered Mike after visiting a friend who had renovated her house, and the architecture so impressed me that I called him that very day! After meeting with him (after having met with a variety of architects beforehand) both my husband and I knew almost instantly that he was the right guy for the job. He is a warm, easy going, extremely likeable person, and someone that is so pleasant to work with. He really listened to everything that we told him, and continued to do so throughout the entire process. Whenever he thought an idea of ours might not be the best choice, he was very gentle and respectful about sharing alternative ideas that he had. Almost all of those ideas were by far the better way to go, and therefore, we trusted his gut feelings on things. Actually, we developed a very strong trust in his abilities and his gift for being able to see and envision - and they convey his thoughts and ideas to us. He took on not only the role of our architect, but also of someone we came to call friend. His houses are his babies, and he has nurtured ours from start to (almost) finish - and nurtured a relationship with us along the way. We would HIGHLY recommend him to a friend, foe, anyone! Look through his portfolio - the houses speak for themselves, and we speak for Mike in that you will get everything (and more!) that you want in working with a man of his calibre, integrity, and dedication to his work...not to mention his architectural brilliance!

Working with Mike was a pleasure. He listened to our wants and needs while maintaining a realistic boundary regarding cost. Once hired, he immediately set forth drawing and produced multiple options for our new home. We had an open slate with which to work, an opportunity to build anything on our foundation which could have been overwhelming. Mike held our hands and calmy and patiently as we worked together and the process was seemless. He has brilliant ideas that we would not have thought of on our own and respected the things we were adamant about. He worked quickly to our deadlines and worked beautifully with our builder. I would definitely use Mike LoBuglio again for any future projects!!

Mike is a real pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend him. Not only is he a talented architect and designer, with exceptionally beautiful drawings, but a kind person, and always very personable. He is professional, flexible, has a great eye for detail, and open to the client's suggestions and concerns. He always provided a few different options for whatever he was sketching, and communicated clearly to us the various pluses and minuses of each one, including cost ramifications. We could not have been happier with his services, and rate him 5 stars plus! Thank you, Mike!

Mike came to us from a recommendation from our builder. He was attentive to our requests, thoughtful in his design and paid attention to even the smallest details. He had terrific ideas in the layout of the house which resulted in a home with a wonderful flow. The house is the perfect size for us; large enough that all of the rooms are appropriate for their function, but not so grand as to have any wasted space in the home. I would highly recommend Mike for anything from a small renovation to a complete new construction job. He was a pleasure to work with.

Mike did a great job designing our kitchen, mudroom, and family room. He is a good listener, and does not have an ego. He took our thoughts into consideration, but was not shy with offering his opinion on making our original ideas even better. He is also creative. For example, he converted our former kitchen into a mudroom and made a very efficient use of the space. His design of the family room and new kitchen was excellent, with a lot of natural light and nice symmetry. He was also engaged in the project after we received his designs, and was onsite a few times to oversee progress and answer the builder's questions. All in all, we are very happy with Mike's work and would recommend him to others (we already have).

We hired Mike to design an addition and remodel for our home. Mike was able to come up with plans that accommodated our specific needs. He made himself available every step of the project. We have now lived with our "new" house and appreciate Mike's work every day.

Mike is truly a genuinely nice person, patient and listened to my design and functionally needs on not just one project but TWO! I still stay in contact with him and am always pleased to see him recognized for his outstanding design work. Lisa in Newtown, Connecticut

Hired Mike for a complete house renovation project on a standard 1950's Garrison colonial. Mike introduced a number of innovative ideas that transformed the look of the house from dated "cookie-cutter" to current/upscale colonial. We were thrilled with his ability to blend in current trends while maintaining the integrity of a classic Colonial. Mike was a pleasure to work with and delivered a great product. Would strongly recommend his services.

Donna Walker, Client. Michael designed our new kitchen expansion and renovation. He listened to our ideas, and suggested creative solutions we had not considered. He is professional, patient, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

My wife and I recently engaged Michael LoBuglio Architects to design a complete renovation plan for our new home. We felt the assignment could be tricky because our plans needed the renovation to be completed in stages. Michael took the time to understand our wish list, worked within our parameters and was overall easy to work with. He was responsive, had a strong attention to detail and stayed within his originally proposed budget.

Mike is wonderful to work with. He not only technically inclined but has a real sense for design ascetic. Mike and I have worked on five projects together and in all cases our clients have been thrilled with his work. I would say that Mike is the best architect I have had the pleasure to work with.

We hired Mike to work on a kitchen remodel and front porch expansion of a 1970s colonial. The results are extraordinary making a dated house feel updated, personal, and a beautiful addition to the neighborhood. He was able to come in on budget and ahead of time, and most importantly to us, was a perfect liaison to the builder, quickly extinguishing concerns and offering solutions that added to the value without incurring additional expenses. He was always available for questions, concerns, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!!!! Brad Eggleston/Kate Mayer Newtown CT

I hired Michael LoBuglio to design our new open concept kitchen, removing a wall and opening it up to our dining room and living room. I am thrilled with the results! Throughout the project Michael was professional, knowledgeable, and, lucky for me, extremely patient. He has an amazing ability to visualize, offering ideas I would have never thought of to arrange appliances, windows, and doors to make maximum use of space for cabinetry, as well as an island that was a must-have. I recommend Michael LoBuglio for any architectural project – large or small. He has an impressive portfolio, and he is a pleasure to work with.

We hired Michael for an extensive renovation -- added a second story with two bedrooms and bath, main floor master suite, mud room and powder room. His attentiveness, attention to detail, and patience made the experience a delight! He listened to our needs and provided many design options, ultimately creating a design that met our needs and style. He integrated the addition to the existing structure so seamlessly that we've repeatedly been told that it doesn't look like an addition, but the way the house was intended to look. We're very pleased with our home and can't say enough good things about working with Michael!

Mike LoBuglio designed an addition to our 1920 Bungalow in Wilton Connecticut. The outside was so seamless that you could not tell where the addition began and the original house ended. He matched all the details of the Period. On the interior he created an open plan concept which included a kitchen, breakfast and sitting areas with a gas fireplace. The addition was staggered so that we have access from the sitting area to our front porch. Over the kitchen he designed a beautiful Master suite. Below the kitchen he created a finished playroom for our kids. The design was everything we could imagine and more. We absolutely love our new addition. Mike is a very talented architect. He is reliable, accommodating and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend him for any job.

Michael designed our new house after severe damage from Hurricane Irene in late August 2011. He did an excellent job for us. He listened to our ideas and concerns and was patient with our changes. He always made himself available to us as well as to our engineer and builder. He worked efficiently and his costs were not inflated. My husband and I would highly recommend him. This was our first experience with an architect and we were very fortunate to have been able to work with Michael.

Michael LoBuglio has great vision and a strong work ethic. He designed plans to renovate the first floor of our house, complete with built-ins, windows and small structural changes. He listened well to our thoughts and presented his own ideas for a solution that worked out well for our needs.

Michael was very professional and kind. He have me multiple options and adjusted to my changing demands. Some additional research was needed and he did that on his own.

A kitchen renovation turned into an expansion of the room. Michael was recommended to me by my brother-in-law who also builds large projects. We found Michael to be prompt in returning calls, on time with appointments and most of all full of great ideas! He showed us his extensive portfolio and we were truly impressed. He is easy to work with mainly because he's a great listener.
